A cynical man disguising himself as an unending patriot, Ecressys routinely complained of the lack of support for his rule from the ruling government in the Core Worlds, and because of this, was suspected by the Imperial Security Bureau of disloyalty to Emperor Sheev Palpatine.
However, after Palpatine's death during the Battle of Endor, Ecressys spread the news of his emperor's survival in a bid to prop up his own power, closely controlling all communication within the Velcar sector and breaking away from the Empire to create his own remnant faction, becoming a warlord. Towards that end, he created the propaganda poster, Endor is A Lie. Subsequently, he took his newfound reign for granted, plundering the treasuries of the planets he ruled. By the time the New Republic arrived to the sector's to announce the signing of the Galactic Concordance, Ecressys had abandoned the governorship and fled to the Western Reaches with the wealth of hundreds of worlds.
